Help : Touchscreen Un-Responsive Bug? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there XDA.. I recently have been experiencing problems with my Nexus S. The first one has been the G-Mail.... say I get a new Email.. ill pull down my status bar... click on the email, then it'll switch to gmail app. I can view everything in the app... and the four bottom keys (home, back, menu, search) all do their respective jobs.. but there's absolutely no feedback from the screen when you press on Something. Thank God its only that app. But I also experienced a problem when trying to install 3rd party apps. Everything goes throughfine..then it takes me to the screen where it warns you about what permissions you're giving the app.... and whether you want to install it or cancel. Well... everything on this screen is responsive except for the Instal button. I've tried to factory reset twice... and well.... the same problems keep coming up. I was woundering if anyone else had these problems ? Of if there was a solution? Thanks so much!

Are you using the stock kernel?? the Netarchy kernel have a touch tweak, you can use it and check if it fix the problem...

Wow actually I'm using screen filter... do you think that's the problem? !?!?!?!?!?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App

That's exactly what it is. I'm using that too that's why I know. Lol. I had the same problem I restored to factory also but then I eventually figured it out that screen filter is the culprit. Haha.

No prob man. Glad I could help.

Screen filter is actually the culprit. It even mentions this issue on its info in the market. Though it also says that with the latest version of gmail the issue is gone.

Help what is this notification from?

Help, what app is giving me the second message notification? I disabled the stock so as you can see hand cent is on. I can not figure out what the other one is. At one point I installed led me know, I feel like that screwed it up. I attached screens below.
Crap it won't let me attach a picture. Adding link, moment please.

It's the default messaging app. Go into the settings in the default app and disable notifications if you're going to use the Handcent ones.
The default is already disabled. The other comment is right, i installed beautiful widgets but I don't see where to disable notifications.

How is the other comment right? The only two notifications you show in the screenshots are default messaging and handcent.

It must be a glitch because default was disabled and it was still showing up. Once I deleted beautiful widgets and add on it went away. I think this was the same issue the other poster had.

Notifications

Hello I have had my NS4G for a month and through all the fun and excitement of unlocking and rooting it I noticed that when I get any type of notification that my LED lights don't come on at all. I actually don't think they ever did. Am I trippin or is it supposed to be that way lol.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
There is no notification LED on this phone... so to answer you, its perfectly normal
Ty now I can stop thinking I was crazy.

Try a kernel with bln support as a workaround
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036991
With BLN app from market.
Noled is another alternative. If you're interested in trying that (no special kernel required) I can give you the settings I found that work well. It took some trial and error to get them the way I like them.

Thanks for all the help I might try some of them. I just wanted to confirm my sanity lmao
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Ok so I flashed a custom kernel using kernel manager but now I can't use wifi tether
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Noled isn't that great of an app. For some reason when there is a notification, the soft touch buttons at the bottom of the phone stay lighted.
Also, the screen isn't pure black when the notifications come on. It has this greyish hue to it. Totally not liking the app.

Problems with my g2x

Just need some info up hear in Canada. I'm on wind mobile with there just released lg optimus 2x but the phone is a P999 model. Just that my phone does random reboots, it freezes when the screen is black and I have to pull the battery to wake it up. Also my blue tooth keeps dropping connection and when I listen to you tube the audio come out of the phone and not the headset. So I just wanna know should I take the phone back and exchange it or there is nothing wrong with the phone and that all these problems will be fixed with the gingerbread update?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
Yep common LG p999 problems,everyone's got em'. Who knows what the update will bring, but everyone's hopeful. For now try flashing cyanogen as it is much more stable than the stock froyo (no rebooting or "black screen of death).
Edit: sorry not sure about Bluetooth as I've never tried. I heard its not too great with cyanogen though...
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Do you by chance use the back light notification app? I've heard that causes a lot of the reboot issues.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Yes I have the notification app maybe I'll remove it for now and see what happens thks a bunch guys

You should do a factory reset.
That fixes most of the problems. If that doesn't fix it the try to exchange it.

Unresponsive screen

Anyone experiences randomly unresponsive touch screen after wake the device or try to pick up a call?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Are you rooted? Custom ROM? How many background apps were running at time? I have had it go blank on me but it is always looking at Facebook pics....needs update....anyway..but never unresponsive. On that note let me update my sig so everyone will know my specs.

Mine is stock but rooted. Not a big deal, can get it back to work by turning off the screen and turn it back on

Yep saw this too. Downloading now
No need to wipe cache and fix permissions. Works fine without these steps.
Nice all kinds of 4.2 goodies:laugh:
thank you for this!
Is anyone having issues with the alarm function of this? I am able to everything with this new clock app, except that it force closes as soon as I click the alarm icon at the bottom left.

does this work for stock phones? mine isn't rooted or anything of any kind.
Thanks!! I couldn't stand the stock keyboard on this phone and have been looking for a replacement. This is just what I wanted!

I was having the same problem. You have to delete the old clock app and reboot. Then it should work fine or at least that's what I did to get it working. Might be a good idea to back up the old clock app before you delete it just in case. Good luck

worked for me ,
its funny because i was getting force closes and i was trying to delete the 4.2 app and accidently deleted the old 4.1 clock and it fixed the problem .
i love the look of the new 4.2 clock . also the night mode is easier on the eyes .
What happened to the installable version? The one you can do without root?

I love the new nighttime clock, the last one was hard to read. I only wish you could change the text color like in CM7.
Cannot download. Keeps stopping!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
After flashing the 4.2 clock, removing the 4.1 clock and rebooting, I get stuck on the "activating..." screen. Is this happening to anyone else?
The clock works perfectly, and I can just hit the home button and it goes away, but now it happens on every reboot and I wouldn't want that process to run in the background...
Any info would be much appreciated!
